Discovery health playing the blaming game

<p>I received an offer for my medical aid , because for the first time I had to add my 2 adult dependent parents on the medical aide.</p> <p>They sent me the offer, with penalties attached to it because my parents had broken medical aide years.</p> <p>this I never knew about at all.</p> <p> I then came to terms that I need to pay the penalty.</p> <p> </p> <p>I signed there acceptance offer, which had spelt my mothers name incorrectly, I asked them to correct by even sending them a copy of her ID .</p> <p> </p> <p>2 weeks later I receive the medical cards with the name spelt incorrectly.</p> <p> </p> <p>today I see my payslip with the contribution deducted is nearly R300 more, so naturally I assumed it's vitality included for 3 people.</p> <p> </p> <p>To my surprise my offer they gave me to sign was incorrect,</p> <p>the amount should have been R300 more!</p> <p> </p> <p>so beside having the shock of penalities to pay over an above the medical contributions , I had an incorrect medical card with incorrect spelling of my mothers name, I also have to pay an extra R300 a month on top of the R600 penalities im already paying.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>then the consultant from discovery sales had the audacity to just dismiss the offer I signed as a mistake because there systems were not updated and therefore I must just pay the extra every month toward this penalty.</p> <p> </p> <p>and now I don't have any recourse they say , because that's there systems they can't do anything . The tone was like I must take it or leave it because I'm a slave to there medical aide, and he doesn't care I must just listen to him speak and shut my mouth.</p> <p> </p> <p>really demotivated by this whole experience.</p> <p> </p> <p>really tired very unhappy with the service I receive.</p> <p> </p>

Reviewer Update

Thank you for listening and stating that you would address the behavior of the sales agent internally.

The acceptance of your signed offer is still not addressed, as this was the main issue as to why this whole frustration happen in the first place.
